So, the semiconductor shortage seems to have started as an outcome of a change in buying habits of the public, in response to the pandemic.. But why has it continued for so long?
I get that many economic systems are under damped and respond to an impulse by ringing, but that doesn\'t seem to be the case here. We are 2.5 years into the pandemic; certainly buying habits have long since stabilized; yet production of many products containing semiconductors is still falling short of demand.
Was there somehow a step increase in demand as a result of the pandemic? Is the industry truly unable to respond and increase production of various components? Why does no one seem to have any idea of how long this will last or how to deal with it?
Maybe slightly off topic, but why hasn\'t the supply chain issue become
top priority with the administration.
I mean gosh, they could have put Kamala in charge!
Why do people think the President or even Congress can solve every problem? Perhaps you are not aware that the US government only makes laws for the US? The semiconductor shortage is a world wide problem with much of the supply not in the US.
Are you thinking the US can build a bunch of fabs in short order?
My thinking was more about the backup at the ports and the trucking
problem.
I have not looked into it lately, and maybe that has cleared up.
Re: the chip problem, it is so short sighted to allow all our
critical chips to be
manufactured anywhere but the US. The chip bill should have required
chip factories
to be built here (if it didn\'t).
How would you require international companies to build chips in the US?
I don\'t what company builds them they need to built here so they can\'t
be cut off by
war, political events, supply ship quarantine.
Let me ask you, is it good that our National Security that our chips
are manufactured overseas?
*Our chips*??? What makes them \"our chips\"? Someone makes them overseas. We don\'t have to buy them.
You are being a fucking idiot, they are our chips because we bought
them and use them in our products.
You are the fucking idiot because you don\'t understand that we are in a global economy.
The chips important to our national
security
should be manufactured in the states.
Fine, do that. Let us know when you have the chips for sale.
A little harder call on chips used
in industry, but certainly the auto industry has had big problems with
getting chips,
and now I\'m hearing people on this group talk about chips shortages.
You are just hearing about that? It\'s been discussed here for a least a year.
Where we draw the line to protect our economy, I don\'t know.
Yes, that\'s true, you don\'t know. You also don\'t understand that the US is not an island. We have to sink or swim with the rest of the world.
I have a GMC/Cadillac dealer next to me, during the worst supply
problems they were down to less than 30 vehicles, a pre 2018 google
search shows over 400
vehicles on their lot. They only had one row of vehicles lined up on the
main frontage, and they kept getting spaced wider and wider and angled
more and more.
About two months ago they did get in enough vehicles to double their
inventory.
That\'s your big concern, that your local Cadillac dealer have enough cars at all times? Wow, I guess everyone has their own priorities.
Like I said you are a fucking idiot.
In this group, that\'s much more a self statement. All the total morons have to call other people names rather than actually discuss the issues. Although we haven\'t heard from profane Phil in a while.
